I'd be interested to find out what you find when you get it working. I have a compressor for a MP100 that I can't get to load pressure. It's the same compressor for the P200 but just comes on and hums and never fills up or stops.

I string w/ a P200 that works. Just used it a few hours ago. Don't lose that plastic collar. It serves as a bearing to keep the table turning smoothly. Mine never came w/ one and I just recently purchased large washers to help it turn and lifted the table high enough to get 360* rotation.

The brake assembly didn't come with it. Found out while I was reading the manual and there was a pic of it. Instead there was some clamp that I could set on the bar so racquet handle doesn't hit the tensioner. Is that the purpose of the brake assembly?

I have been stringing on my p100 for 20+ years. Recently I bought a p200 for $50. After tinkering with it it works too! I have it in ghe garage for parts. I do not think tennis machines has parts any more.

Mine has a brake assembly exactly as you have pictured. I use the brake when stringing Prince O port racquets. Tightening the knob compresses jaws on a thin circle of steel, like a brake disc, which holds the turntable tight.
